Squads

Squads are the rotational teams that provide weekend coverage. Each squad operates on a set schedule and is led by a Squad Lead who coordinates assignments and coverage.

How Squads Work

ConceptDescription
RotationSquads rotate on a defined schedule (e.g., 4-squad rotation)
CoverageEach squad is responsible for all services during their assigned weekend
ContinuitySchedule is never canceled — if no service, the squad simply has no duty

Squad schedules are URL-driven for easy sharing. Bookmark or share links to specific date ranges.

Squad Roles

RoleResponsibilities

Viewing Your Squad

  1. Navigate to Schedule in the sidebar.
  2. Your squad assignments appear on your Dashboard and Calendar.

Squad Organization

Each organization defines its own squads:

SquadExample Days
Squad 11st weekend of month
Squad 22nd weekend of month
Squad 33rd weekend of month
Squad 44th weekend of month

Special Considerations

  • 5th Weekends — May rotate or be assigned as needed.
  • Holidays — Leadership may adjust schedules for major holidays.
  • Special Events — Separate from regular squad coverage.

Programs

Beyond weekend squads, some organizations have Programs for specific ministries:

ProgramDescription
CREWYouth mid-week services

Holiday EventsSanta Night, Easter, Christmas

Each program has its own lead and participant roster.
